Well, what's XMR's use-case?  Monero's design has failed in terms of decentralization.  So has bitcoin's.  Solving a previously unsolved problem is hardly the way superior technology comes to dominate a market.  Rather, a superior solution comes along to disrupt a previous solution, and makes it inferior (usually based on design or expansion of capabilities in solving future problems). 

That devil's advocacy aside... Yes, there are bigger plans and your reserved post observation is an astute one.

Thanks for clarifying.  I'm failing to see similarities between Blur and either of those.

cpu only my favourite coins when will be mining open? my xeons need something new....

Nothing new about this coin not even the algo, but at least it's for CPU mining only we'll see how it turns out.

nice. im mining. i want to fill a bag of these with my servers

2000 is the average hashrate each cpu

Oh, and for transparency and ease of reference -- here is a spreadsheet with daily emission from premine to 100% supply.  Of course, emission will continue at the fixed rate of 2.0 BLUR/block after total supply is reached, just as Monero will.

I'll add this link to the first post as well.

You should mine something given a few hours.  Should not affect durability more than normal computationally intensive work would... just don't overclock your processor or anything like that.
